loved on my parents throughout their transitions

The staff is wonderful. My mom was not an easy person to deal with and they all worked to win her over and help her with goals. They really showered her with love and seeed extremely sad when she passed. The facility is very nice and the rooms are spacious. We did not have to pay extra for some amenities: laundry, cable and wifi. The facility had routine activities, parties and entertainment. Food was our only challenge for my moms delicate GI system. We did have several meetings and eventually found solutions. My dad passed there as well and the administrator and others stayed with my mom until we could arrive and be with her

Our families experience

1-7 definitely all fives! Value for cost it's a struggle for her to keep up with that cost, but I believe that they are very comfortable if not less than most of the other assisted-living in my area, Comfortable =comprable. Our family member has faced many challenges in the last 2 to 3 months. The staff they have been incredibly supportive and helpful. They are there attending to what she needs. I have never overheard them complaining cause she's being needy at times. That's really important. She loves all of the staff, she can't get over how much they take the time to sit and talk to her for a few minutes each time they come in and they come in to check out two or three times a day to make sure she's OK. I can't say enough good things about them!

When I went in for the tour [names removed](sorry not sure correct spelling) were so kind and helpful. They really put me at ease. The residents were also very friendly and helpful. The first day I took mom down to eat in cafeteria and she met so many new friends. They were all willing to help her learn where everything is and just a wonderful bunch of people. I would recommend to anyone looking for a safe place for their loved one. The apartments are beautiful and again she truly loves being there.
